I ended up watching 4 really different films this weekend: Phantom Thread, Murder on the Orient Express, Downsizing and The Foreigner.

And like 15 Andy Hardy movies

Despite the MeToo theme of the evening, I don’t see the author saying that Tanya Harding should have been given time to speak. Allison Janney gave her a shout out, but...

>>I’m not saying I dislike the new characters, but I don’t care about them.

I think the sunken x-wing was actually used well. In this case, it served narratively to do exactly what it was meant to, which was to make the audience assume it was a Chekhov’s gun that was going to be used. Having seen it, when Luke shows up at the end, there’s no reason to wonder “wait, how’d he get there?”, so…

While I did really like the movie, there were a few glaring holes and problems that did bug me.

Does AV Club still do spoiler-space pages for movies? This seems like a prime candidate for one

Still, seems like more men kissing in the two hours of tonight’s crossover than in the entire season run of Modern Family

I’m happy to see #justiceformews is gaining steam on Twitter

I think that’s actually intentional. At first I really didn’t care for the unrealistic cliched bully character, but the more I thought about it in the context that this show has so many homages to 80s pop culture, it sort of made sense to include this very 80s movie stock character

That some of you only know that reference from an old Aerosmith song makes me feel really old. Once upon a time saying “the rabbit died” was a pretty common euphemism for someone being pregnant. Probably started tapering off in the late 70s early 80s

I have a friend that has this as her go-to drink, specifically vodka and Diet Coke. I’m hoping pointing out that this is Harvey Weinstein’s drink of choice will finally make her swear off that abomination.

While I enjoyed Wonder Woman for the most part (it was doing great until the stupid CGI boss-battle at the end), I felt the same way about the fashion model in cosplay casting. I would have preferred someone more like Gwendoline Christie

I saw Blade Runner on Thursday night, 8pm showing, and there were maybe a dozen people in the theater. That’s just one theater of course, but I do go to a lot of opening nights at the same place, and the crowd size is usually a pretty consistent indicator of how the movie is going to do. So unfortunately, not…

I thought the same thing. Considering the first couple of singles released are usually the best songs from an album, I am pretty pessimistic about the rest of it.

Wait a second - we can say cunt now? ok maybe kinja isn’t all bad.

Thank you! I was starting to think I was the only one really underwhelmed by Ready Player One. With the movie coming out and a several people recommending it, I finally picked it up.

I had a similar encounter. I think their rational for the Snopes bias was that the founder had donated to Democrat candidates.

I was wondering if anyone else did the twist and roll inside out maneuver. I’ve been a happy adherent ever since I discovered it.

So...Drogon takes 2 more dragonsized steps forward. Chomps Cersei, disembowels the Mountain. Dany steps down says, “Ok I’m queen now. Any objections?”
